| BUY | 14.500 | James Hodgins | Solid stock with a good dividend? He likes Computer Modeling Group (CMG-T) which does modeling for oil/gas exploration. Ways about 3% dividend but also has some growth. | 2012-01-27 | |
| BUY | 13.510 | James Hodgins | Came out of the last recession quite well and revenues, dividends, etc. were quite steady. Fantastically managed. Thinks it will definitely outperform through the cycle. | 2011-10-20 | |

| Comment | 17.250 | Peter Hodson | One of the best run companies in Canada. ROE is about 60%. They raised their dividend almost every quarter. Have no debt and are sitting on cash. Great product and they don't have the need for capital. | 2009-08-06 | |
| HOLD | 17.250 | Hap (Robert) Sneddon FCSI | Putting the 50-day and 200-day moving average lines tight. If he where investing in this he would want to know the ownership structure as the chart doesn't look like it needs to be sold.
